Haddock tree spongled

[Matthew Pickering]

I tried adding back the linters which check to make sure a commit is
in the upstream branch before a MR is merged but got blocked by a
gitlab issue.

https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/395

The currently recommended workflow is that your commit should be in
the ghc-head branch before the merge to GHC takes place. This enforces
some linearisation but it stops the tree breaking.

This is a good long term goal, but I don’t think we are quite there yet. Some other ongoing changes in both GHC and Haddock are blocking the way forward on this front…
